Jon Jones has officially been named as a suspect in a hit-and-run investigation.
“Yes, he is the suspect and we’re hoping that he will contact us to give us his side of the story,” said Simon Drobik, Albuquerque Police Department spokesman to MMAFighting.com. Drobik squashed the rumors that cocaine was found in the rental car. However, according to Brett Okamoto, a marijuana pipe was found in the car.
This weekend a woman was struck in a hit-and-run and Jones was identified by an officer fleeing on foot.
According to several, Jones hadn’t been heard from in well over 24 hours. His manager calmed the rumors that Jones’ planned UFC 187 fight with Anthony Johnson was off, saying he’s not heard anything like that as of yet.
UFC released the following statement:
“We are aware that the Albuquerque Police Department is interested in speaking to Jon Jones regarding his possible involvement in a motor vehicle accident. We are in the process of gathering facts and will reserve further comment until more information is available.”
